My company's website has no hyphenated words on any of its pages. Despite this, hyphenated words are appearing all over the text when viewed by Firefox. No other browser displays the text like this. How can I turn off the "hyphenation" feature in my website so that Firefox doesn't distort the text I wrote by putting hyphens at the ends of partial words and displaying the rest of the word on the next line?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Can you provide a public link to the page?

Did you check possible attribute and &shy; and CSS code via the Inspector?
